Globalization word sounds as if each country is a part of the global village. The countries are forced to integrate with the global economy once they have given up command economy. The market-led-led economy has to be globalized to take advantage of the free movement of factors of production, technology, patents, design etc. The closed economies could not succeed in overcoming backwardness. Therefore, what was conceived in Bretton Wood slowly continued to gain acknowledgment. Finally, even though each country wanted to be communist at one stage, they saw better progress in globalization After remaining beyond the realm of, the countries had to fall in line. Globalization placed a condition that there will be excessive use of capital and labor if the two-way flow of goods and money happens. This is the reason that China grew up at the strength of work. But getting productivity from labor is not an easy task. In case it fails to deliver the output, the country's progress remains underachieved. Poverty and unemployment are still serious issues in India because labor could not be treated fairly. Therefore, advanced countries continue to enjoy the capital eco system in which education is also capitalized.

In many developing countries, remittance payments from migrant workers are observed as an increasing magnitude and becoming a significant source of foreign reserve earnings. Remittances inflow is noted to be very useful in promoting household welfare, health, and education particularly in developing countries. Inflows of remittances to India have experienced a sharp rise in last three dictates. Remittances have also emerged as a more important and stable source of foreign exchange inflow compared to official development assistance, foreign direct investment or other types of capital flows in particular in developing countries.Among countries today, the top recipient countries are India with $79 billion, followed by China ($67 billion), Mexico ($36 billion), the Philippines ($34 billion), and Egypt ($29 billion) (World Bank 2019).Available evidences indicate that migrant labour flows from India since 1990s have not only registered impressive growth, in respect of the traditional destinations like United States of America (USA), United Kingdom (UK), Canada and the Gulf countries but also have diversified and expanded to newly emerging migrant destinations in continental Europe (Germany, France, Belgium), Australasia (Australia, New Zealand), East Asia (Japan) and South-East Asia (Singapore, Malaysia).In this study we have concentrated on the long-run relationship between remittances inflow and the economic growth of India considering annual data over the period 1975-2016,In this purpose we have used VAR (The vector auto regression) model for estimating the significance relationship and the direction of the relationship.

On 23 June 2016, the UK voted to leave the EU, (Brexit). A four year and six-month period of uncertainty ensued before Article 50 was activated. Eventually the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) came into force on 1 May 2021. The UK retail sector, in particular the textile/clothing and footwear, relies on high levels of international importation to the UK. As the negotiations between the UK and the EU were undertaken, key elements featured in the development of the new Brexit policy. This paper examines the impact on the textile/clothing and footwear UK importation trade in relation to three of these key elements:- June 23, 2016, UK voted to leave the EU. 29 March 2017 Article 50 was triggered. October 2019 Article 50 extended. The data was modelled using the main five UK import partners in relation to textile/clothing and footwear from the WITS (World Integrated Trade Solution) database and the UK Office of National Statistics annual and monthly data sets, in relation to the three key elements of policy. The study provided an initial insight into the impact of policy decision making during the Brexit process. The findings show that Key elements of Brexit policy making had a negative impact on importation trade in relation to Textile/Clothing and Footwear. Further research is recommended to establish the long-term effects of Brexit policy on the UK retail economy as a whole, over the next five years. This to be extended to the export of textile/clothing and footwear from the UK to EU and Non-EU trading partners.

Purpose: This research seeks to investigate methods of validating the Methodology model for Poverty Intervention (MMPI), as well as its efficacy. Design/Methodology: It is an exploratory longitudinal design that is based on previous empirical studies entitled ‘What the young people and community organisations perceives their support needs in Nigeria in tackling poverty’ and ‘How to sway policy makers, using social marketing techniques (SMT)?’ As part of a mixed methods research methodology, for the quantitative data, an instrument comprising a two-part, 31-item questionnaire was utilised. Part 1 is entitled, ‘You and Poverty Survey’ and Part 2 is entitled, ‘How to Ask Government Survey’. The interview schedule was also used in respect of the qualitative data and a discussion group methodology was adopted. The research participants for these studies were a sample-size of 1461consisting of randomly selected young people. Results/Findings: The findings revealed there appears to be an acute methodological validation limitation relating to these previous studies. The review showed that validation of the methodology is needed for global use. It was also found that validation could be best achieved using an additional independently collected dataset, overseen by a higher level of institution suitably experienced and qualified in poverty eradication or social policy formulation, such as The University of Oxford/United Nations development Programme(UNDP). Practical implications/conclusions: Poverty depicts a wide range of social challenges experienced daily, often beyond a person’s control. For example, inequality, social exclusion, deprivation, social disadvantages have emerged because of structural imbalances in society, and sometimes have devastating implications for vulnerable people in society: children, young people, women, minorities, people with disability, the elderly, and others.

Increasing customer participation and engagement with the brand has become prominent to increase customer brand experience along the customer journey. Technological advancement and the growth in Augmented reality (AR) provide marketers with promising opportunities to engage customers. This study investigated the effect of augmented reality on customer brand engagement (CBE); the technology attributes based on the Technology acceptance model (TAM); perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and enjoyment were used as a mediator. An experiment was conducted on females in Egypt on a cosmetic AR Mobile application. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to identify the relationships of AR attributes, technology attributes, and customer brand engagement. All the hypotheses were statistically supported. The findings confirmed that augmented reality attributes positively affect customer brand engagement. Additionally, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and enjoyment mediated the indirect and positive effects on CBE. The research provides marketers with practical implications for using AR technology.

Mobile health (mHealth) applications provide equal reach to health care services at an affordable cost. mHealth can play a major role in enhancing the quality and access of health services in developing countries, still the adoption of mHealth in these countries is very low. On the other hand, younger generations have great dependence on mobile devices and have high potential to adopt mobile applications. The aim of this study is to investigate factors that affect user acceptance of mobile health recommender system among Generations Z (between 10 and 25 years old) & Y (between 26 and 40 years old). The research adopts Technology Acceptance Model (TAM3) constructs and extends them to include constructs related to Trust and Reputation, as mHealth is prone to uncertainty and vulnerability. Based on 136 valid responses collected from a survey, structural equation modelling SEM was employed to examine the research questions. The data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The results suggested that for generations Z & Y, Perceived Usefulness has a significant positive effect on behavioral intention to use mobile health recommender system. This direct relationship is affected by user characteristics, namely gender and experience using technology. Perceived Ease of Use and Trust in mHealth applications, significantly increase the Perceived Usefulness. The results reveal the importance of perceived reputation in building Trust in mHealth applications, and it is found that Output Quality has a positive influence on Reputation. Computer anxiety has a negative effect on Perceived Ease of Use. These findings provide a basis for improving the understanding toward factors affecting mHealth applications in developing countries. The study provides number of practical design recommendations for designers and service providers.

Fraudulent practices in the banking sector, especially as it affects the functions of the treasury department has been a subject of intense concern to policymakers and other stakeholders. It is, however, believed that if more female bank staff are utilised, it could lead to a better management of risk. This study investigated the nexus between gender accounting and the dependent variable. Structured questionnaire was administered on 10 staff of each of the Nigerian Deposit Money Banks. The population, which also represents the sample size comprises of 10 banks purposively selected with only 39% responses received. Data were analysed with the aid of logit regression. The results showed a significant positive relationship between gender accounting and risk management in treasury functions (Adj. R2 =0.680, F-stat = 21.145, p<0.05). This implies that increase in the independent variable will reduce the risk associated with the treasury functions of banks in Nigeria with diverse results from the three proxies of independent variable. The descriptive results showed that more women in the treasury will minimise theft of funds. The study concluded the need for policymakers and regulatory authorities to establish the policy that will encourage more of women inclusion in the banking treasury department.

Over the course of the last 3 decades, the world has seen monumental shifts in how information is collected, transmitted, and disseminated. Every aspect of our personalities that live on the internet, including our browser history, photos we post to social media, our shopping decisions, and our selection of online friends, has been collated, quantified, and assimilated into a digital profile, which has skyrocketing value to an increasing number of businesses. With these developments in technology come the inevitable questions of ownership of such data, its use, misuse, and even possible theft. This paper takes a comprehensive and comparative look at the data privacy legislature in the two largest data hubs in the world, namely the United States and the European Union. The paper also seeks to address the shortcomings of certain, past legislative decisions, and makes a recommendation for the future. To do this, we analyze the events of the past, using the 2016 Facebook/Cambridge Analytica data scandal as a focal point.

To do this, we analyze the events of the past, using the 2016 Facebook/Cambridge Analytica data scandal as a focal point.","PeriodicalId":323589,"journal":{"name":"The Business and Management Review","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131089987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper attempts to assess the impact of social protection, with particular emphasis on old age pension on the economic growth of the island of Mauritius. The study makes use of rigorous time series econometric analysis over the period 1987 to 2018 to gauge if and the extent to which social protection and pension have been productive in the case of Mauritius. Results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between pension and economic growth in Mauritius. The coefficient of 0.123 is a measure of the efficiency of performance of pension concerning GDP creation. It is a measure of output elasticity of pension. A 1% increase in pension is likely to increase economic growth by 0.12%. In the short run, it is observed that there is an insignificant, although positive link, between pension and economic growth. This may indicate that the effects of pensions are felt on economic growth rather in the long run. The negative lagged value of the Error correction term indicates the existence of a long-term relationship and an adjustment of the effect to its long-run estimate. As far as the other determinants of Mauritian economic growth, it is found that it takes time for them to impact economic growth and thus remain essential long-term influencers.
